Stakeholder Engagement Overview
Despite the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 operating environment, 2021 proved to be a strong and productive year for the Centre’s stakeholder engagement activities. The Centre continued to pursue mutually beneficial collaborations with Partner Organisations, Industry Affiliate Members, research collaborators, program collaborators, citizen scientists, and other end users. ACEMS’ strategic efforts in this regard are realising a range of benefits, including new research collaborations, knowledge creation, knowledge translation, research commercialisation, and research impact. These transdisciplinary and cross-sector collaborations are having a positive impact in each of our collaborative domains, namely, for ‘Healthy People’, ‘Sustainable Environments’, and ‘Prosperous Societies’.
Our valued stakeholders include all ACEMS members as well as our external collaborators from organisations across industry, government, the non-profit, and research sectors.
Our engagement also extends to the public, end-users and other beneficiaries of our research activities, with the aim of maximising the societal benefits of this engagement.
Engagement highlights from 2021 include:
Partner Organisations (POs)
Industry Affiliate Members (IAMs)
In-kind contributions from POs

ACEMS Research Collaborators
ACEMS research collaborators range from those with whom ACEMS undertakes one or more collaborative research projects through to those more deeply and broadly engaged via research and other engagement mechanisms, either as Industry Affiliate Members in our Industry Affiliate Program (IAP) or official Partner Organisations who benefit from a more strategic and longer-term collaboration.
During 2021, the Centre’s key collaborators included six Partner Organisations, 11 Industry Affiliate Members, and many other government, industry, and non-profit organisations, plus national and international research organisations.
